You never say hello to you until you get it on the redline, overload. You never know what you can do until you try.

I hope I misunderstood. I found an echo of fear in the dark spaces of my mind. They would follow him to greatness, or less. They looked like the cheering crowds chanting Sieg Heil.
As I do. Am I the only one to notice that Obama bin Laden is using exactly the same tactics as Hitler?
I'm a tough old gal who loved her time in the United States Marines. I have faced death many times, and it is never easy. I can think of a few sorties where I was ready to lose my guts with fear. But I flew anyway. I knew we'd tangle with MiG's on the way in laden with a rack of bombs, like fighting with an elephant on your back.
But I flew behind my pilot friends and put the bombs on target, jenking around to avoid SAM's wiggling up out of the jungle that blew up within fifty meters of our F-4, and the next day (sometimes that afternoon) we'd go up and do it again.
That scared me.
Obama bin Laden scares me a whole lot worse.
